My Grownup & Me
"My Grownup & Me" Farm School sessions are geared for ages 2-5, although ages 1.5 to 6 are welcome to join! There will be something for everyone and every age. Parents and grandparents will gain knowledge as well, while finding the satisfaction of watching your Little Farmer enjoying time on the farm! Farmer Michele, formerly a public school teacher, loves getting to know the Little Farmers that come out to learn, play, and explore!
What's Farm School?
Farm School is a ninety minute, outdoor class that incorporates a farm lesson, active participation, physical movement on the open pasture, traveling around the farm, meeting the farm animals and a take-home project. There may even be a farm chore or two at the end of class, as well as hands-on farm stations for Little Farmers to enjoy!
​
"My Grown-up & Me" sessions are generally a month-long, but we love holding single, pop-up sessions throughout the year as well.
​
"My Grown-up & Me" session rates are $25/Little Farmer. A 10% discount for the second Little Farmer within a month-long class is given. Sign up below!
Do grownups stay?
Yes! This unique program allows grownups to experience the class together with your Little Farmer. Grownups are FREE! You get to enjoy the mountain hike around the farm, watch your Little Farmer run around during active play, build relationships with other grown-ups and their littles, and get to know the farm animals as well!

I'm signed up for Farm School...now what?!
Once you're signed up for Farm School on the sign-up genius link, you will receive an email 1-2 days prior to classes starting with more details. This will include the parking map (all parking is around the back circle), the 2024 liability form to complete and bring to class, farm tips, and the exact address in Valley Forge. You can click on the PDF image here to view the Farm Class tips now, but the biggest 2 things to remember...wear comfortable shoes for the farm (old sneakers or boots are recommended) and bring fresh fruit and veggies if you would like to feed the animals (banana peels, orange peels, carrot tops, and apple cores will all be loved and enjoyed!)
Feel free to email Farmer Michele with any questions prior to class starting!
